About Canse

Canse Karatas (BACP) draws on more than a decade of experience supporting people through painful life chapters. She introduces herself warmly and invites a calm conversation about what feels overwhelming. Her style is direct and compassionate, helping people break problems into manageable steps so they can make real, lasting changes.

Canse uses her background in psychology and counselling to offer a holistic approach rather than a purely clinical one. She blends relational and psychodynamic ideas with humanistic and creative ways of working. This mix is aimed at helping clients understand recurring patterns, process difficult feelings, and build healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression and trauma, alongside issues such as self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, and addictions. She also addresses matters like eating and food-related concerns, attachment issues, dissociation and identity-related struggles. The aim is to help people move from surviving to living more fully.

Canse values cultural diversity and brings that awareness into sessions. She also draws on life experience and ongoing personal development to shape how she supports people. Conversations are non-judgemental and paced to each person’s needs.

People who come to her can expect collaborative exploration and practical steps between meetings. If you would like to begin, use the site Start Therapy button to complete the short questionnaire and book a first session according to the therapist’s scheduling process.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Canse commonly draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when people struggle with trust, closeness or recurring relationship issues. She also uses client-centred methods that focus on listening closely and reflecting back what matters to the client, which can help people feel heard and understood when they are ready to open up.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Canse treats this as a collaborative process and will talk with each person about their goals and preferences. Together they decide which ideas to try first and adjust the plan as the work unfolds.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare or travel, and it can reduce time spent commuting. It also allows for a flexible rhythm between sessions, so check-ins and pacing can match everyday life while you work on longer term change.
